Mahmoud Jihad Trains Alone in Preparation for New Season

According to "Youm7" newspaper, Mahmoud Jihad of Zamalek is racing against time to regain his position in the club's starting lineup. The player is currently intensifying his individual training sessions to boost his physical and technical fitness before the new season kicks off. Through this special program, Jihad aims to convince the coaching staff of his abilities and start a new chapter that supports him in the coach's plans.

The newspaper reported that Mahmoud Jihad has been unlucky since donning the Zamalek jersey; the curse of recurring injuries has hindered his progress with the team. These forced absences have deprived him of maintaining his place in the starting lineup and have cost him the continuity he needed to establish himself on the pitch.

The player did not succeed, after returning from injury, in regaining his usual level or establishing himself in the starting lineup during last season, due to incomplete technical and physical readiness, alongside strong competition in midfield.

Jihad is looking to transform the preparation period into a genuine starting point that ensures his return to Zamalek's tactical considerations. The player aims to establish himself as an indispensable element in the team's lineup, especially with the club facing a packed schedule filled with challenging fixtures and major tournaments both domestically and continentally.
